I’ll Be There

Recorded by Jackson 5
You and I must make a pact
We must bring salvation back
Where there is love, I’ll be there
I’ll reach out my hand to you
I’ll have faith in all you do
Just call my name and I’ll be there
I’ll be there to comfort you
I’ll build my world of dreams around you
I’m so glad I [...]

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Recorded by Elton John (1973)
When are you gonna come down
When are you going to land
I should have stayed on the farm
I should have listened to my old man
You know you can’t hold me forever
I didn’t sign up with you
I’m not a present for your friends to open
This boy’s too [...]

We don’t cry out [...]

The tears come down again
It happens all the time
This crazy love of mine
Wraps around my heart
Refusin’ to unwind
Ooh, [...]

I have crossed a thousand bridges
in my search for something real.
There were great suspension bridges,
made like spider webs of steel.
There were tiny wooden trestles,
and there were bridges made of stone.
I have always been a stranger
and I’ve always been alone.
There’s a bridge to tomorrow,
there’s a bridge from the [...]

A Whiter Shade of Pale

Lyrics by Keith Reid
Music by Gary Brooker/Matthew Fisher/Keith Reid
Recorded by PROCOL HARUM (1967)
We skipped the light fandango
And turned cartwheels across the floor
I was feeling kind of seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray
And so it was that [...]
